The first floor of the business houses all the letting rooms. The letting rooms are offered to an excellent standard with traditional furniture mixing with contemporary design and fittings. There are a total of 6 rooms, all rooms are double sized offering ensuite facilities.

One of the letting rooms is also a one bedroomed apartment with a bedroom, ensuite bathroom and kitchen.

THE BUSINESS

Our clients purchased the property in 2021 and began a refurbishment programme that has seen a sympathetic renovation of the public areas to today’s impressive levels. The property and business are now offered in walk in condition for new owners to exploit.

Our clients have a retail and property investment arm to their business and the day to day running of the hotel has been devolved to a management team. We believe there is enormous potential for hands on ownership in order to drive the business forward.

The business is well patronised as a food and beverage destination and the letting bedrooms and are well promoted on all room sales platforms.

The business trades well from all three revenues streams with real potential to develop further under new owners.
